Context
In 2018 I started Colorado Tripod Company alongside landscape photographer & Breakthrough Filters founder Graham Clark. We set on a mission to design a tripod system that was stronger, lighter, and cheaper than the other well-built products on the market. This ended up extending to a line of 8 products, integrating a successfully funded Kickstarter campaign.
As a Founding Partner and Industrial Designer, I:
Lead and executed product development; Collaborated on design and vision; Researched market trends; tested and refined designs; managed manufacturing; Crafted brand and marketing plans; Connected with the photography community.
Landscape photographers endure long hikes and challenging environments. Ultralight systems, while portable, often lack durability, leading to constant change of equipment due to product breakages and failures.
Design Challenge
Develop an innovative ultralight tripod and ballhead set tailored for landscape photographers, delivering exceptional portability, durability, stability
